The forty-ninth congress adjourns to-
day at precisely II O'Clock. Il leaves a
very falr record OF useiul work. il has
done many things which it ought not
10 have done and left undone many
things which IL should have done. but
il mas also done many things well
many things which its predecessors neg
IecJed to do. IL leaves about 1900
measures on the calendars Of the two
houses as unfiuis he'd business, but this
was 10 be expected. Mai y of them are

something 10 do with starting business.
Al any rate the was marvellous

obsLrucuOnisJs became cOuciliatory,
Two OF the largest appropriation bills
passed the house, several other meas
uTes equally important were put right
through, the senate responded without
a moment delay, astonishing progress
was made in both ends Of The capitol
and The scare over an extra session was
ali Tor nothing.
